Chapter 10: The Chess Game

"What's the end?"

Hearing Qin Chuan's question, the black-clothed old man asked rhetorically.

It seems that at this time he found out about Qin Chuan's arrival, but it seems that he knew that Qin Chuan was watching chess from the sidelines since early in the morning. The chess players, the spectators, the chessboard, and the chess pieces seem to constitute an inexplicable relationship.

What is the end?

"Little friend, look at the chessboard, there is latitude and longitude, and there is black and white. It is good to remove the warp and weft and black and white with one heart, but throughout the past and present, there are people who have achieved one heart before and after, which is nothing more than changing from time to time. Besides, who has ever said clearly, whether the black son wins the end, or the white son wins the end?"

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to answer, the old man in white said so.

“......”

Qin Chuan was silent.

"Whether Heiko wins or Baizi wins, it's nothing more than a new game. And then, no matter if the winner wins again, or the loser turns defeat into victory, the only thing that remains unchanged is the chessboard!"

“......”

Qin Chuan was still silent.

From the words of these two people, Qin Chuan heard some other meanings. Heaven and earth are like chessboards, all living beings are like chess pieces, no matter who wins or loses, they are all in this chessboard, and no one can jump out. The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, death and rebirth, birth and death, endless. And the eternal one, perhaps, is only this chess player.

...... It is called: the way of heaven.

A wave of uneasy emotions surfaced in Qin Chuan's heart, and then he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Why are you playing so tirelessly?"

"The chessboard is there, and I don't play it, but I have two other people to play. This black and white reincarnation, on the chessboard of warp and weft, has long been a foregone conclusion. Just as spring goes to autumn, it will never stop. ”

“......”

Qin Chuan was silent again.

This sentence, placed in the world, has long become a theorem.

Since ancient times, the confrontation between good and evil has been endless, and there has never been a complete defeat of the other party, but the victory and defeat are constant, as if it is an endless reincarnation. And at the moment, the dark gate is raging, Fuximen does not raise its arms and shouts, it has its own second Fuximen order, and he Qin Chuan does not want to pay attention to it, and there is also a second Qinchuan will be born.

Eventually, there will be someone who will push this endless reincarnation.

Eventually, I will promote this heavenly way.

...... Like, the chessboard in front of you.

"Are you asking about the lotus pond?"

After a long time, seeing that Qin Chuan had been silent, the two old men seemed to be about to leave, so they asked about Qin Chuan's coming. pointed out the way for Qin Chuan, and sang all the way, and the figure disappeared somewhere.

"I'm not going to be that chess piece!"

A whisper came out of Qin Chuan's mouth.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, it seemed to be the last stubbornness in his heart.

......

Leaving the pavilion and going up the mountain along the pointed road, Qin Chuan really saw a lotus pond.

But at the top of this Penglai, it is like going to the sky. The wind, no more, the rain, the future, everything is so calm that there is not even a trace of waves, as if the purest inch of pure land in the world. In the pool, there is no ripple on the surface of the water, and the fish in the pond swim carefree, inheriting the essence of heaven and earth, and it is very spiritual.

And a few inches away from the water surface in this pool, there are patches of colorful lotus, living from the water, suspended in mid-air. Under the subtle sunlight, it is beautiful and exquisite.

...... It's all rootless lotus!

“!”

Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment.

I thought that when I saw the legendary rootless lotus on the top of the heavenly pillar, I had already achieved great creation, but who would have thought that in this pool, it was full of blooms, and in front of me, there was a wonderful rainbow of light.

The creation of heaven and earth is extremely exhausted here.

Qin Chuan couldn't figure out whether this place really existed, and he couldn't help but suspect that he was in a dream. However, no matter how much he spied on himself, he couldn't see the slightest clue, and the little boy in front of the mountain, as well as the two old men in black and white who he met before, couldn't detect the existence of the other party's cultivation.

Everything is beyond Qin Chuan's cognition.

Of course, for such an adventure, Qin Chuan didn't think too much about it, the most important thing in front of him was to obtain the flower dew of the colorful lotus, the rootless water. And at this moment, it is already at hand.

"Zihan, I'll be able to bring you back soon. ”

With a whisper, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

took out a jade bottle, and from the petals, took out a full bottle of flower dew, Qin Chuan had no intention of staying here to enjoy the rare beauty. Hiding the jade bottle in his bosom is to turn around and leave.

At this moment, in his heart, Mu Zihan is still his only one.

......

After obtaining the rootless water, Qin Chuan had no intention of staying on this mountain at all, and he didn't even take everything to heart, he only planned to continue to go to the wilderness to find another sourceless fire. He came down to the mountain, found the boy in the temple, and under the guidance of the other party, came to the outside of the mountain gate.

I saw a cliff in front of me, a vast amount of smoke, and I couldn't see everything on the other side.

"You pass through this fog and go to the cliff on the opposite side, it should be Kunlun. I see that you are quite virtuous, so I don't need me to send you, but you remember, don't say that you have been to Penglai. ”

Before leaving, the little boy said to Qin Chuan.

"How?"

"Master has an order, I am not allowed to receive outsiders in Penglai Mountain, I made an exception to bring you in, and I also promised you some wonderful lotus dew. If Master knows about this, I'm afraid he will punish me. ”

"Understood, thank you. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan saluted and said no more.

When he climbed the Heavenly Pillar before, the dragon spine of the divine soldier who had followed him for many years had been completely destroyed under the punishment of heaven, but fortunately, there was still a Zhenshan River, which could fly with a sword. After sacrificing the Zhenshan River, Qin Chuan jumped up, turned into a flash of light, and shuttled towards the mist. Soon, it disappeared into the mist.

"Hoo ......"

However, when Qin Chuan left, he heard the little boy sigh.

"And let you be playful, neglected the mountain gate control, and let people break in, right?"

Immediately, I only heard a slight reprimand, but it was the two old men, one black and one white, who appeared behind Xiao Tong at some point. They all looked at the foggy place with some surprised looks.

"Senior brother, don't tell Master, I won't dare next time. ”

The little boy responded aggrievedly, and after speaking, he also had a strange expression, and muttered, "It's also strange, how could this person fall from the sky, how could he fall into my Penglai's clear lotus pond......"

"Whew!"

At the end, I saw the child stretch out his arms.

It was actually a cultivation aura like the Heavenly Dao that diffused from his body, far beyond Qin Chuan, who was still here just now, and even stronger than the heavenly masters such as Nan Ke and Ji Yun who were in Qin Chuan's cognition. Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed, and the fog in front of him became even thicker, and in the blink of an eye, the entire immortal mountain was covered in fog.

And so, completely disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Qin Chuan stood on a certain cliff in Kunlun, turned around and looked at the vast clouds and mist in front of him, and he could no longer find the trace of Penglai. It's as if that place doesn't exist at all.

Only, the bottle of jade dew is very real hidden in the arms.

“......”

Qin Chuan couldn't figure out whether this was a dream or not.

......

Wild.

The vast desert, a round of sunset, incomparably desolate.

On the yellow sand, which was originally smooth and slippery, some long footprints appeared. After a few days, the righteous people who traveled from Luoyan Peak have gone deep into the hinterland of this desert, searching everywhere.

Shangguan Yao, Liu Shenyan, and Lin Zixuan, the three women, seemed to be very uncomfortable in this hot weather, and they looked a little tired. Women love beauty, and in this desert, don't say that there is no water to wipe sweat stains, even if you take a bath, there is no water to wipe your sweat stains, and after a few days, there is some obvious fatigue.

No one knows how long it will take to find Nadrani Palace.

Before, Ye Qiuqi and the others came with a green dragon to guide the way, but they didn't encounter trouble, but now, just searching with their memories, no one can be sure if they can find that place.

Ye Qiuqi walked forward with his sword in hand, frowning slightly from time to time.

After walking for a few days, they found that in this desert, from time to time, there would be the corpses of the Dark Gate people, all of whom had been devoured and died, some of them were covered by yellow sand, and some of them were exposed to the wilderness, pecked by the vultures, and they were miserable. At this time, Ye Qiuqi's eyes were sharp, and he saw a corpse lying on the yellow sand.

"Amitabha. ”

The accompanying Benkong said a Zen saying, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Brother Qianyang, what did you find in this corpse?"

Suddenly, Ye Qiuqi looked suspicious, stared at the corpse, and asked Murong Qianyang.

Murong Qianyang of the Heavenly Pavilion walked with them, because he was good at resisting the wind, and because he had been able to protect them from a lot of wind and sand for a few days. Although Ye Qiuqi was the leader of this trip, he also knew that this Murong Qianyang was much more experienced than them. Therefore, Fang only noticed the abnormality, so he asked the other party.

Hearing this, Murong Qianyang was also suspicious.

I saw that the corpse was half covered in yellow sand, and half of it was pecked by vultures, so that it was long lost to the point where it could not be seen clearly. However, people who cultivate the truth don't have to just look at their faces, with their breath, after some peeping, Murong Qianyang's face suddenly looked shocked:

"Lady Suyi?!"

“!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Mrs. Suyi's status in the dark gate is not low, but why, she also died in this desert. Following the countless corpses of the Dark Gate Yan Tianwei in front of them, they once again made a new discovery.

One, an incomparably shocking discovery!

What really happened in the Nadharani Palace?

"Isn't it true that the Demon Sect has really had civil strife?"

Lin Zixuan asked rhetorically. Mrs. Suyi's cultivation is profound, and she has never fallen under the wind and thunder of the void in the cave, but at this time she died in the wilderness. And if he was killed by people in the righteous path, I am afraid that it would have spread all over the Central Plains.

But at this time......

"Not necessarily. ”

Suddenly, Shangguan Yao said lightly.

I saw her standing with her head held high, but she looked at the sky above the corpse of Mrs. Suyi. There, there is a strange aura, constantly sucking up the remaining true yuan in Mrs. Suyi's body, and it is constantly transmitting to a certain place in the desert in a special way, which is extremely terrifying.

Perhaps, this plain-clothed lady escaped from that place, but she couldn't resist, and was devoured by life and cultivated, and died here. And that place, I can't say, is ......

“!”

Listening to Guan Yao's reminder, everyone suddenly noticed such a subtle change.

For a while, their complexions changed greatly:

Dharani Palace!
